MANICURING GAUGE.

Application filed July 5,

T o all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, LAWRENCE J. ROSE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at the city of St. Louis, in the State 5 of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manicuring Gauges, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanyin drawing.

ly invention relates to a manicuring gauge and has for its object to provide a gauge arranged to fit any of several fingers of various sizes in position to permit the nail of that finger to extend through and protrude from a slot in said gauge, for the purpose of holding the nail while said nail is being reduced, by any suitable manicuring tool, to an outline fixed by the contour of the slot.

.Dm/wings.

In the drawings Fig. l is a side elevation of a gauge embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Preferably formed from a single sheet 5 of suitable material the gauge is of substan-V 1923. Serial N0. 649,540.

tially U-shape, contoured to receive the terminal of a finger, and having outwardlybulged grooves 6 at its mouth contoured to lit the users finger and to prevent the slipping of the finger While the gauge is in use.

The gauge-body is preferably tapering in 'form 'from end to end (see Fig. 2) and has a series of arcuate slots 7, whose inner mouths are slightly fiared (see Fig. 3) and whose outer mouths are flattened to form a smooth pair of ridges 8 between which the fingernail projects, and which serve as a gauge to which the nail is to be trimmed as shown in Fig. 4:.

The gauge may have but onev orA any desired number of the slots 7 and may be of any desired size and form to accommodate various sizes of iingers.

The engagement of the depressions 6 with the opposite sides of the Afinger whose nail is to be manicured serves to hold the gauge in place without assistance, thus enabling the user to manicure himself.

@Zar/im.

I claim Y A manicuring gauge formed from a single sheet of metal having a series of arcuate slots and a series of o-utwardly-bulged grooves arranged in operative alignment with reference to said slots.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my signature.

LAWRENCE J. Rosa.
